Emmanuel and I

Bare.

Completely pruned.

Emmanuel. God with us.

Fear.

Completely vulnerable.

Emmanuel. God with us.


I trembled before the throne of God.


Begging for His healing touch,

Pleading for another chance,

Knowing that today is the day,

My heart and soul opened.


I felt His hand upon my face.

He lifted my chin.

I lowered my eyes.

I didn't want to see His pain.

"Look at me."

I looked into His eyes and saw Love.

Pure. Unconditional.

I was loved.

"Take courage. Have hope."

"Fear is useless. What is needed is trust."


I trembled before the throne of God.


Praising Him for His healing touch,

Thanking Him for another chance,

Adoring Him for the wonderful gifts,

My heart and soul soared.


Growth.

Deeply rooted.

Emmanuel. God with us.

Courage.

Fully trusting.

Emmanuel. God with us.


Hand in hand. Step by Step.

Day by Day. Month by Month.

We walk this journey together -

Emmanuel and I.
